Gorilla Doctors: saving endangered mountain gorillas in Africa

The region the Gorilla Doctors operate in is one of the most turbulent in the
world and has been marred by genocide and war. In the past six months the
team have been unable to monitor the gorillas because M23 rebels, locked in
a battle with Congolese government forces, have taken over much of the
Virunga National Park. They cannot say if any gorillas have been killed in
crossfire or hunted for meat during this period. However, the Gorilla
Doctors believe most of the fighters see the financial and altruistic
benefits of protecting the gorillas, and will not harm them
indiscriminately.
